I know this was posted several years ago. I am hoping that others are still researching this subject and may be able to answer a few questions. I am an RN-BSN and starting an MPH degree program. Is it really possible to obtain a doctoral degree in nursing without an MSN? I find this interesting and thought provoking. Also, is there a specific site that would list which states would allow such a process?

How sad that RN's would feel unsafe voicing concerns and/or frustrations. We are a profession. This is our career choice and YES we should be supporting each other. I think a group that focuses on uplifting the RN professional is needed in every realm of nursing. New RN's need support, seasoned RN's need support, and those becoming burnt out need support. Our hospital does not have such a group but I do think it is a well intentioned idea that should not be brushed off so quickly. Please let me know how it turns out for you. Like anything worth while...it talkes a while to work out the kinks but the end result will be rewarding :)
